Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, unfortunately. That genius belongs to J.K. Rowling. Oh, and Enchantre is pronounced En-shant-er, just in case anyone gets confused. Anyway, this is my seventh fanfiction, so bear with me as we plunge into the chaos that is my mind. LOL! ; )
Chapter 1: Jamie's Transformation
The houses of Godric's Hollow were all silent, their occupants having long since retired to the comfort of their beds. In Potter Manor, however, a young girl was laying in her bed staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep just yet. Jamie Potter was a 16 year old girl who was short for her age, at 5'3". She had jet black hair, which she had inherited from her father, James Potter, and bright green eyes...her mother's eyes. James and Lily Potter were also awake in their room down the hall from Jamie's, and Lily turned to her husband and said anxiously, " It's almost time, James. Why couldn't we tell her before hand?" James looked at his wife lovingly and replied, " Now, Lily, it's best that Jamie comes into her inheritance first. Then we'll explain the situation, alright? Don't worry so much; you'll get wrinkles!" Lily playfully puched James on the arm, and waited for the time to change to 12:00 in the morning, the time Jamie was born. Jamie turned her head to look at the digital clock on her bedside table and counted down the seconds until midnight. " 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Happy birthday to me," she said to herself. All of a sudden, a sudden burst of pain shot through Jamie, making her cry out in alarm. The pain intensified, as did Jamie's cries, and soon she was screaming from the intense pain ripping throughout her body. She cried out, inbetween grunts and gasps of pain, "Mum! Dad! Help me!" Finally, she could stand the pain no longer, and she blacked out.
James and Lily, having heard their daughter's cries for help, scrambled out of bed and raced down the hall to Jamie's room. Lily threw the door open and paused at the sight before her. She breathed out, " Oh, James. Look at her!" James moved into the room and studied his daughter's appearance. Jamie's hair, which had been cut to resemble a boy's haircut, was now long and sleek, and they could tell that when she stood, her hair would reach to the middle of her back. Her features had sharpened, but still retained their feminine quality, and she had obviously grown a couple of inches. Her hair was no longer jet-black, but was now an interesting color of deep purple, almost plum, and had streaks of silver and black running through it. Jamie stirred, moaned softly and opened her eyes. Lily gasped, and James said softly, " Well, I'll be damned.." , for when she had opened her eyes, her parents now saw that her eyes were more almond shaped and exotic-looking, and they were no longer their trademark green. Her eyes were now a deep grey, like molten silver, and were flecked with gold and turquoise. Jamie sat up, groaned and said, " What the bloody hell happened?" Lily said warningly, " Jamie!" She looked up at her mother and said, " Sorry, mum." Then, she said curiously, " Uh...why are you guys looking at me like that?" and Lily took her daughter by the hand and said, " Come with us, sweetheart. We have to tell you something," and she led Jamie downstairs to the sitting room, James bringing up the rear. Jamie and Lily sat on the couch, and James sat in the armchair across from them. Lily looked at Jamie and said slowly, " Jamie, dear, you have come into your inheritance. Your Enchantre inheritance. " Jamie stared at her mother, then her father and back, saying, " Inheritance? Echantre? Mum, what's going on? What are you talking about?"
Lily sighed and started to explain. She said, " Enchantres were a very old race, dating back to the times of the four Founders, and are a hybrid mix of both Sirens and Furies. According to the facts, the very first Enchantre, Salomae, fell on love with a mortal, and as a result, was banished. She married the mortal, Davrid Evans, and they had a girl, who had the Enchantre gene passed down to her. Many years later, Rowena Ravenclaw was approached one night and was told of her inheritance. She didn't believe the story at first, but as the signs became clearer, she couldn't ignore it. She had indeed become an Echantre. She had changed her last name for reasons unknown, but she was an Evans. Before she died, she had managed to produce a son, Richard, but the gene could only be passed to females. Richard married and had a daughter, and the chain went on and on until...well, i believe you can guess the rest."
Jamie said, finally finding her voice after this shocking bit of news, " Well, if the gene is passed down to the females, then how come you aren't an Enchantre, mum?" Lily said, " I actually don't know why I never became a full fledged Enchantre, but the gene was still in me, and now, it's in you. Oh, your appearance changed, also. Do you want to see what you look like now?" Jamie nodded vigorously, and Lily conjured a full-length mirror, Jamie moved over to it and gasped in shock. She said, " Wow! This is sooo awesome!" Lily smiled and then got serious again. She said, " Now Jamie, there are some things that you need to know. Being an Enchantre, you have certain powers. You now have control of the elements, you have telekinesis and telepathy, and you can fly, just, without the wings." Jamie said, " Well, how am I able to fly if I don't have wings?" Lily answered, " You can summon the wind around you and use it to lift you, and from there, you can fly. You also have a mate." Jamie paled and said, " A mate?" Lily nodded and said, " A mate. A life mate, to be exact. Enchantre's mates are the opposite sex, and once you mate, you are linked mentally, physically and emotionally. I have asked Dumbledore, and he thinks that your mate goes to Hogwarts. You will know it's him by picking up his scent. All Enchantre's mates have a certain scent that attracts them. When you find your mate, he will become very posessive of you, and will be the dominant one in the relationship, as Enchantres are the submissive ones. That's it, I guess. Oh, wait! One more thing. When you mate without protection, you can become pregnant within the next 2 weeks, and you will need your mate to help you through the pregnancy. Enchantres pregnancies are different from mortal women's, in that your term is shorter, and you'll give birth sooner, in about 4 months."
Jamie's head was still trying to get around the fact that her mate goes to Hogwarts. She jumped up and said, " Well, I better get off to bed. I'm going to the Weasleys tomorrow, right?" James said, " Yep. You should get off to bed then, Munchkin, " and he ruffled Jamie's hair affectionately. Jamie grabbed her father's hand and said, " Dad, I'm not a munchkin anymore!" James smiled warmly at her and said, " I know, but you'll always be my little munchkin, and my favorite girl!" Jamie grinned and hugged her father, and he smiled, hugged her back and kissed her on top of her head. Jamie then kissed her father on the cheek, muttered, " Goodnight, dad!", turned to her mother and did the same thing, and raced upstairs. She climbed under the covers, and soon drifted off to sleep, with dreams of who her mate was running through her head.
The next morning, Jamie opened her eyes sleepily and groaned, shielding her eyes from the shaft of sunlight filtering through her curtains. She sat up, sighed, got out of bed and stretched. Then, she went into the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face and jumped in the shower. When she got out, she went to her wardrobe, opened it and paused to look at her reflection. She never got the chance to study her new appearance last night, and as she looked, she was pleased with what she saw. She turned to the side and noticed that her butt had gotten fuller, as had her breasts, and her curves were more pronounced. She stopped studying herself, and looked for an outfit. She finally chose a lavender T-shirt that said on it, in white writing, " Like what you see?", a pair of faded black jeans and her black sneakers. She packed her trunk, called Hedwig down from her perch ontop of the wardrobe and gently put her in her cage, and grabbed her jacket. She levitated her trunk downstairs, since she was of age and allowed to do magic outside of school, and deposited it near her fireplace along with Hedwig's cage. She then went into the kitchen and sat down at the table, where her breakfast was awaiting her. She immediately started to eat, and her mother walked in, closely followed by James. Lily said, " Good morning, sweety," and James kissed her on top of her head. Jamie smiled and said, " Good morning, mum. Morning, dad!" Lily grabbed her plate and sat down at the table, followed by James, who sat across from Jamie. Then, Lily looked up and said, " Oh, Jamie, I forgot to mention something last night. It's a warning. As you are now an Enchantre, you will have a certain...allure about you." When Jamie looked puzzled, Lily explained further, " What I mean is, all members of the opposite sex will be sexually attracted to you. But, you have to learn how to control it on your own, I'm afraid. You must do this as fast as possible, because if you find your mate soon, he will try to kill anyone who even so much as smiles at you." Jamie said, " Okay. Sexual attraction, bad. Got it. Will it work on my mate?" Lily said, " Every time he is near you. He will feel the need to be with you, to mate with you, as often as possible. That's how it was with me and your father!" and Lily smiled at James, who winked at her. Jamie said, " Okay! I didn't need that mental image, but thank you ever so much. Oh, wow. I have to go! I'll see you guys soon. Luv ya, mum. Luv ya dad! Bye!" Lily and James followed her into the living room, and watched as she grabbed a handful of Floo powder and stepped into the fireplace. Lily said, " Bye, sweety. Be careful! We love you!" James winked at Jamie and said, " Luv you, munchkin!" Jamie smiled, pulled Hedwig's cage and her trunk into the fireplace with her, and shouted, " The Burrow!" She threw the powder down onto the floor, and a green fire erupted around her, transferring her to the Burrow.
